Just arrived at the lovely free Aire, drove around in circles trying to get in, eventually figured it out. Pretty much full, is this normal?
Planning to use on the return late feb, anyone know a good alternative if we can’t get in.

I stayed in the large main site on the edge of town. It was OK. Can’t remember how much it cost. Used Uber to get into the city but there are buses too

We stayed there last winter. It's very popular, and according to some locals nearly always full. But you can park around the corner near the entrance to the sports training grounds when it is full. It has a brilliant tram service opposite

There must be more than one site on the edge of town. The one we used was right next to a tram stop that took us straight into the centre for pennies.

It is coming up to a Spanish Public Holiday, ie, Epiphany Day, and as a result, the Aire here at Vitoria Gasteiz further north, was absolutely rammed when we arrived on Tuesday
Some folks have pitched their MHs and left them unoccupied, to possibly come back to them tomorrow or Friday, for the holiday weekend. 🤔

Cheers,

Jock. :)

Unfortunately the below Aire is BEFORE Zaragoza on the way back but is recommended.

It's on Calle del Carmen.

The one we stayed at is a large car park with water and waste,. Across the road from a tram stop. Free. It was busy but it is very large so lots of space. If full you could probably park in the car park adjacent to or the one south of

I have used the Zaragoza theme park car park in the past. It feels a bit strange if you're of a nervous disposition.

The town is famous for its wine. Our favourite for good quality red at amazing prices is Bodega Ignacio Marin

Well, we arrived about 1pm and were the only Brit in the village but about 30 minutes later another turned up.

Loads of spaces but I’m sure that’ll change later.

We stayed on that one too. I think you have to go a convoluted way to get in - we drove the wrong way, over rough ground as I remember! 🙄

Brilliant tram service, and a lovely indoor market, as well as fabulous architecture.
